But it triggered flashbacks of stumbling upon a -honest to God- rock/paper/scissors tournament (for adults) on ESPN 2. Complete with golf-announcer guy *seriously* wondering if the fact one of the shooters was left-handed would be a handicap or advantage for her in the next round.

I submit this as proof that there are too many sport networks and program hours to fill with, well, actual sports. Oh, and I’d like ESPN to consider bringing hot potato (with a potato fresh from the oven of course) to the screen if playground games are moving mainstream. At least people would actually move around.

I saw that same tournament. It was a clearly a joke. They had interviews where people were talking about their strategy, and people stunned at an upset victory. The announcer was not serious at all; he was deadpan.
